Pre Physical Therapy• Physical Therapist focus on helping to improve the movement of

a body, or help people re-learn how to use their mobility.• When working as a Physical Therapist you will be working with

patients and helping them establish goals, help make plan of care and treatment methods that will work for them. You will also be changing these treatments, as long and there are sign of improvement or necessity.

• Physical therapists are often found helping people, such as: patients with spinal injuries by helping them learn how to run a wheel chair, making an exercise program for injured athletes, helping infants with cerebral palsy learn to sit by themselves or helping the elderly with their osteoporosis and hip fractures.
